Synchronization is an ubiquitous phenomenon in dynamical systems of networked oscillators. While it is often a goal to achieve, in some context one would like to decrease it, e.g., although synchronization is essential to the good…

Many coordination phenomena are based on a synchronisation process, whose global behaviour emerges from the interactions among the individual parts. Often in Nature, such self-organising mechanism allows the system to behave as a whole and…
